Chapter 222 Beware of Carcinogens While Watching TV

A recent study by Japan's National Institute of Environmental Research shows that televisions produce high concentrations of brominated dioxins and other brominated toxic substances.These highly toxic chemicals are mainly produced by the fission and decomposition of flame retardants in TV sets at high temperatures.Dioxin has strong carcinogenic characteristics, and can also cause cardiovascular disease, impaired immune function, endocrine disorders, miscarriage or abnormal sperm.The dust accumulated in the TV will continue to spread outwards, forming inhalable particulate matter, which is very harmful to human health.

Therefore, when watching TV, it is best to ventilate for about 1 minutes every hour, which can effectively reduce the concentration of inhalable particulate matter and brominated dioxins.After the TV has been used for a period of time, it is best to ask professionals to come to the house for dust removal, or you can use a small vacuum cleaner to simply remove dust against the cooling holes.In addition, air purifiers are also very effective at removing inhalable particulate matter.If possible, it is best to choose an environmentally friendly TV such as LCD.

In addition, when watching TV, you should sit directly in front of the TV, and the optimal distance is 6 to 8 times the diagonal length of the TV screen.Wash exposed skin with warm water after watching TV.Do not eat while watching TV, because dioxin has a strong adsorption capacity on food.

family life made easy

Parents who expose their children to television too early will damage their eyesight and hearing.Secondly, TV will not create child prodigies. It is difficult to repeatedly stimulate the brain cells of infants and young children through TV screens. On the contrary, it will cause abnormalities in the brain circuits of infants and young children, and they will not learn much. Therefore, parents should not let infants and young children watch TV.
